They all look the same

Literally carbon copies

Trump is adding diversity and experience to field.

They all talk about policies they implemented, drafted...etc.

None of them has any business experience

Add King Hillary to that list too. No difference between her and the GOP pack. People are tired of all of them.

It's a tough job being a Republican candidate. You have to win over voters 25% of whom think Donald Trump would make a good president.

It's going to be a lot more. He went from 18-20% last couple of weeks to 25-26% this week. He can pull in less conservative GOP voters as well. I mean, look at the alternatives.

I'm not quite sure he can. He needs to soften his rhetoric to win enough votes over.

Having a racist socialist in the white house for the last two terms didn't do anything but destroy this country.

We need some new blood in the GOP, get rid of the rinos and dems because there is no difference.. Trump, Cruz, Carson , Jindal and Fiorina are the new blood.

The longer Trumpy hangs around the more likely the GOP losses the election, just so ya know.

I'm not quite sure the new blood can do it (I'll leave Fiorina out because policy wise, I don't see where she stands.) I look at the (other) names you mention and I don't know if they can unite the moderate Republicans (like myself), the religious conservatives, the fiscal conservatives and the anti-authorities. Perhaps they can get two, maybe three of these but not the four quadrants they need.

2008 GOP: McCain is awesome! He will crush the Kenyan Muslim community organizer!!!!!!

2012 GOP: Romney is awesome! He will crush the Kenyan Muslim community organizer!!!!!!

2015 GOP: McCain and Romney were absolutely horrendous, and that is why the Kenyan Muslim community organizer won twice. We need pure conservative candidates.

2015 GOP: Mr. Trump is awesome! He will crush old rich white lady!!!!!!

2018 GOP: Jeb was absolutely horrendous, Mr. Trump dropped out and that is why the rich old white lady won!!

None of the guys you named have a chance of actually being elected and you know it.
